IUP Career Expo

Wednesday, September 30, 2015Time: 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Students

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to meet representatives from local and national companies and organizations. Employers will be looking for individuals for full-time positions, as well as internships and co-ops. The Career Expo also provides you an opportunity to explore employers and career opportunities that you may have never thought about. Participating also provides you with an opportunity for face-to-face contact with recruiters and a chance to polish your networking skills (no matter how brief your contact). Although the Career Expo is primarily intended for IUP juniors and seniors of all majors, freshmen and sophomores may also attend to get a general idea of what a career fair entails, as long as they are dressed appropriately.

Upperclassmen and alumni are encouraged to take the time to prepare a resume and bring multiple copies (30 to 40) with you. Professional dress is required.

The IUP Career Expo 2015 offers employers with entry-level, internship, and co-op positions an opportunity to meet in one central location with alumni, graduating students, and upperclassmen. Candidates attending will be IUP current students or graduates of the university with associate, bachelor, and/or graduate degrees. Employers will be able to speak with candidates, distribute recruitment literature, and conduct brief interviews.

The table registration fee is the same as the last two years: $475 for profit-making organizations, and $300 for nonprofit organizations. Payment can be made by electronic check or credit card. If necessary, we can also send you an invoice for payment by check.

Registration includes a table with piping, draping, and a table cloth; directory listing (if registered by September 18, 2015); as well as beverages and a light lunch. You are responsible for bringing your own equipment, such as A/V equipment, and extension cords. If you wish to send your display/materials prior to the fair, please mail the items to KCAC, 711 Pratt Drive, Indiana, PA 15705. Be sure to place ATTENTION: IUP Career Expo 2015 c/o Bob Smith on the mailing label. If you are having equipment shipped to IUP, you MUST make arrangements to have it shipped out once the fair has ended.

Check-in and setup begins prior to the fair at the Kovalchick Complex, where we will have students to assist you in unloading your vehicle. After unloading, you will be directed to the parking lot adjacent to the complex. Please contact Jan Shellenbarger at jans@iup.edu or 724-357-2235 for more information.
